*** Lesson Details ***My lessons are geared towards a set of goals that are created between the student's wants and my expectations for them to be successful at what the student wants to achieve. For each student, I use a different set of pedagogical tools designed to get them to the goals they want. The main goal I have for all my students is that their fundamentals on their instrument will be at the level that they can complete their goals with ease. Over their time with me, they will have the skills to coach themselves when they practice and tackle any music they come across.

*** Travel Equipment ***I expect them to provide and music stand and their music. These are both things that they need to have at their home for practice.

*** Specialties ***I teach and perform both jazz and classical music. Almost any style that uses a trombone or brass instruments, I have performed in and have a strong foundation in.

I am former music major and long time amateur trombonist and was looking for someone to help bring my playing (back) up to the next level. Bill has been amazing at being able to spot areas for improvement and clearly provide several suggestions and approaches to correct them. Very pleased and highly recommend!

Melissa May 23, 2017·Trombone·In home

Bill is a stand-up guy. My 11-yr-old beginner daughter is happy with her lessons so far and he interacts with me in a friendly and polite manner. He is respectful of our time and does what he says he's going to do. Can't ask for much more. We are looking forward to a summer of trombone lessons with him.

Murphy Storen June 13, 2016·Trombone·In home

He's an awesome teacher and an awesome guy. I learned a lot! I would highly recommend him.

Victoria September 18, 2017·Trumpet·In studio

I took Trumpet and Flugelhorn lessons from Christopher for four years. What I appreciated most about Christopher was his patience. It can be very challenging to learn Trumpet and Flugelhorn however, Christopher taught the lessons in a way that was easy to understand. He took the time to explore what my difficulties were. He then would present me with ways to challenge them. Christopher also has a great understanding of music theory. He explains and demonstrates musical concepts very thoroughly. I highly recommend Christopher Ward.

About Xin H.

Want to learn how to play the Horn? I have been giving lessons to kids in Baltimore for years through the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's OrchKids program and now hope to expand. My goals as a teacher are to make a safe teaching environment with an emphasis on support and to further your own goals. All ages are welcome! Lessons will be catered to each student and you or your child will build a strong foundation that can be applied to all things in life! Send me a message and let's get started.

About Xin

I am a professional Horn player. I am currently a student at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester getting my Bachelor's of Music under Professor Peter Kurau.

Horn players can expect to have a unique sound, and I intend to let the student harness that rather than stick to whatever standard of sound is preferred in our community. From my experience, horn players tend to build tension in the jaw, and as a person with TMJ (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction), I know how to recognize these pains and how to release tension and prevent it!

I have been studying classical horn playing for 7 years and have had experiences in various orchestras such as the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the Ocala Symphony Orchestra. I am also a part of the National Orchestral Institute + Festival of the University of Maryland, College Park in 2018, a n

ationally-acclaimed summer festival. In addition, I studied the Natural Horn for 2 years, the predecessor to the modern French Horn. Despite having a classical background, I frequently have to play jazz when playing modern compositions and learned how to read lead sheets, so therefore I can bring a multi-faceted way of teaching every day.

I have experience teaching young kids in Baltimore through the OrchKids Summer Program. I was a Brass Intern and taught the horn players and at times the trumpet players. From this experience, I developed patience and an even stronger love for teaching to play the instrument to which I am dedicating my life. I hope that you will consider me in your pursuit of finding a horn teacher for yourself or for your child.

Andrew July 11, 2018·French Horn·In studio

I haven't taken lessons from Xin, but as a colleague of hers at the Eastman School of Music, I can honestly say that she is one of the best and most dedicated horn players I've ever met. I have no doubt that Xin's skills as a musician would transfer well to her teaching. You won't go wrong with her.

Ryan July 10, 2018·Audition Prep·In studio

Loved her informative and supportive sessions! Would highly recommend!

Isaac May 22, 2018·French Horn·

I go to school with Xin and she is a very dedicated player with a beautiful sound. She is very knowledgeable of horn playing mechanics and will make an amazing teacher.

About Devlin D.

I am a certified teacher with a bachelor’s degree in music education, and I am also working towards my master’s degree in horn performance. Whether you’re wanting to take lessons for school, as a hobby, or anything in between, I will create lessons that are catered specifically to you and your goals. I have been teaching private lessons for 5 years, and it is one of my favorite things to do! I love teaching one-on-one and being able to see (and hear) my students grow. I also have professional performance experience, some of which includes playing for Disneyland in California, marching with the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps, and subbing in professional orchestras. Part of what I teach my students who are looking to further their musical experiences is how to prepare for auditions and guidance on how to stand out amongst many other applicants. I also stay up-to-date on the many musical opportunities that surround us, both in the Denver area and across the world, so that I can share

About Devlin

Hey y’all! I am a graduate student at the University of Denver working towards a Master of Music in Horn Performance. I earned a Bachelors in Instrumental Music Education from Arkansas State University in May 2018, and I just recently relocated to the beautiful state of Colorado. I have been teaching lessons for a little over 5 years.

I have performed in over 20 states as well as Northern Ireland, England, and Germany. The next place on my list is Switzerland! I love to mentor students who aspire to share the gift of music with others. Music is one of the most rewarding professions and hobbies, and I would be happy to help you both improve your skills and find opportunities to further your musical experiences. In the end, it is all about becoming your best musician.

Some of my interests outside of music include animals, traveling

, and hiking. I am very passionate about both teaching and playing the French horn. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask! Also, if my times do not work for you but you are interested in taking lessons, don’t hesitate to ask if I can meet at another time. My schedule can be relatively flexible.

My son Garrett says "It was a great first lesson, and I learned more in this one lesson than I have in all of my school lessons so far this year!" Devlin was a lot of fun and very patient, and we're looking forward to the next lesson. (Garrett is brand new to the French horn this school year). Thanks Devlin!

About Abi R.

I will find new ways to make the foundations of playing the French Horn fun, intriguing, and challenging for each student. My curriculum is based on my 11 years of playing experience and my hope is to encourage the students to accept challenges, push them to become better all around musicians, and give them confidence in their playing ability.

About Abi

I am a recent graduate of the University of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama where my primary instrument was French Horn. I had classical and contemporary instruction while in school and am flexible to teach what my students are interested in.

I traveled for three years in a brass and percussion ensemble of 30-35 members and played mellophone. I also played mellophone in high school and am willing to give supplementary lessons if needed.

I have a large library of Horn repertoire so my students won’t need to purchase a lot of sheet music, but a few fundamental books will be required. On top of learning breathing techniques, tone quality, transposing, and ear training my students will learn basic care for their instruments and how to troubleshoot common wear and tear issues.

Please ask any questions you may have and I hope to meet you in a l

esson!

I have been teaching French Horn lessons for seven years now and love it! I have Bachelor of Music degrees in French Horn Performance and Music Education from the University of Michigan, and am currently in the second of my Master of Music degree at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music. I have taught sectionals and masterclasses at many different types of schools as well as private lessons, and I was also a middle school band director before beginning my graduate program last year. I cater the way I teach to every individual student’s needs and goals and love working with people to help them learn more about music. Along with learning the French Horn, I am able to teach music reading as well as theory, and sight-reading skills. I emphasize posture, breathing, and self-care as part of the musical learning process. I look forward to meeting you!!

About Anna

Hello! I am a French Horn player and teacher originally from Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelor of Music degrees in French Horn Performance and Music Education from the University of Michigan. I then taught middle school band for a year before beginning my Master of Music Performance degree at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, where am I currently enrolled.

I have taught a wide variety of students from age 9-74 of all proficiency levels. I have always maintained a large private, but I also taught sectionals at several high school around Ann Arbor, MI including Belleville, Plymouth-Canton, Saline, and Ypsilanti, as well as coached the Michigan Youth Band and Orchestra and Detroit Youth Symphony Orchestra horn sections on the weekends.

I have performed with and/or held positions with many groups includ

ing the Los Angeles Sinfonietta, the Rochester Symphony, the Debut Chamber Orchestra, the Jackson Symphony, the Santa Monica Symphony, the Adrian Symphony, and the Bellflower Symphony. Last year, I was fortunate enough to perform with Carla Morrison on her Amor Supremo tour. I am heard on the soundtrack of the movie “Diamond Street” (2018), folk singer May Erlewine’s latest album, Mother Lion (2017), and also was a part of the Grammy-nominated recording project for Darius Milhaud’s Orestian Trilogy.

I am a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, the professional women’s fraternity, the National Association for Music Educators, the National Honors Society, and the Tri-M Music Honors Society. I have put on several fundraiser recitals, most recently last December in State College, Pennsylvania where I raised several hundred dollars for single women in need of financial and emotional support.
